Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin Decisions Hughie Fury, Wins WBA Regional

[MaksBox]

Fury couldn't beat a Povetkin that looked like someone had dragged him out of a pub 15 minutes before the fight...

Yeah, crazy ain't it?

Povetkin with about 3 weeks training and after double elbow surgery. Barely even saw his training sessions on IG or Russian Media.

If he had a proper training camp.... definitely top 4 and I do agree, has 1 or 2 really good fights left.

Or about 5 to 10 bums like Hughie.

Parker, Pulev, and now Povetkin.

Confirms what we already knew: Hughie isn't a world level fighter.

To be fair those are all contenders.

But I agree he isn't elite. Povetkin otoh is. He needs to face Tyson now that Wilder is backing out of the rematch next year.

Should be no shock to anyone here, Povetkin was always going to win this...the favorite in most peoples eyes. Not sure what Matchroom was thinking matching him with Povetkin who is way too experienced for Fury, he has only lost to Wlad and Joshua and that's it...he is still very dangerous to ANY heavyweight out there, the only upset here is Povetkin never knocked him out, but Fury brings that awkward boring style that is hard to catch clean. Fury does not belong amongst the heavyweights, he just doesn't have any pop to gain respect. He is domestic level at best, however I'd rather not even watch him stink up the join ever again.

Povetkin should retire, nothing to prove and he won`t beat any top guy.

He would give any heavyweight a tough fight....he dangerous and can beat any of them on any given night.

That’s 50 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

You have nearly 11 K posts since 2018 , im sure there wasn't much to lose, wow.

Can't agree with this , he took the fight on short notice with out of the ring 11 months . He's only lost to.Klitschko and AJ so not sure where you think that ?He's a top level fighter still more then Ortiz has proven.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Yes , he is top level fighter and he will always beat journeymen like Hughie is. But I just don`t think he beats top guys of division. the only top 10 guy he probably beats is Pulev, because Pulev is highly overrated.

Povetkin should now only try to cash out against one of top 5 guys and retire than, because he will lose.

Another 'Fury snoozefest'. As others have said, he is just domestic/European level, and that is his limit.

As for Povetkin? He used to be at world level, but now as a 40 year old who does he beat in the top five?

Last night highlighted his lack of speed and low work rate, fatal against someone like Wilder or Tyson Fury.

Yes he has a clubbing right hand, but would it be effective against a fast moving top contender?

Price fight is 50 -50, Chisora beats him.

I'd favour Price 60-40 against Fury.
Chisora, Whyte, and Joyce all stop him.
